Belt and method of splicing the same
First Claim
1. In a longitudinal extending endless reinforced belt having a first end belt section and a second end belt section, said end sections being cemented together across their abutting faces to define a splice line, said belt having a body proper with parallel reinforcing cords extending therethrough, said cords extending in the longitudinal direction of the belt for the entire length of such belt and terminating at said splice line, said endless reinforced belt having strands embedded therein and extending across said splice line into both of said end belt sections, said strands spaced laterally from said cords in said end belt sections, and said strands being cemented to the body proper of said end belt sections.

Abstract
The method of splicing belt ends to form an endless belt wherein such belt has reinforcing cords extending longitudinally therethrough. The respective belt ends are sheared to provide complimentary mating faces which are cemented together. Slots are cut along the running length of both end belt sections across the splice line and spaced laterally from the reinforcing cords. Additional cords are placed into such slots and cemented to both sections to provide an integral endless belt.
